Question

Mr Kirk sold his car for $8,400.00. This was $200.00 more than two fifths of what he had paid for the car originally. How much had mr. Kirk paid for the car?

Answer 1

Sale price = $8400.00 = (Original Price)*(2/5) + $200

 

$8400.00 = (Original Price)*(2/5) + $200

 

$8200 = (Original Price)*(2/5)

 

Solve for Original Price.
